We rounded out our vacation with a few days in London (and one in Bath). It was so nice and relaxing to be back in the UK. Enjoy!

This is the second part to our Lebanon trip. It talks about our adventures in Sofar, Sayda, and Baalbek.
This is the first part of our Lebanon blog. We did so much and had so many pictures, I had to break it into 2 blogs. This one will talk about Beirut, Mount Lebanon, Bchallah, the Lebanese Cedars, Batround, the Jeita Grotto, and Harissa. Enjoy!
While Sami flew to PAX for Labor Day weekend, I headed to SF for a girl’s weekend. We went shopping, checked out the sights, attended the Zine Fest, and hung out in the traditional Japanese tea gardens. It was a great weekend overall with friends.
We recently had our 1 year wedding anniversary. It has been an exciting year of change: getting married, getting a new job, moving, going to Japan, getting a puppy, etc. So we really wanted to make the anniversary special to celebrate being together and all that has come with that. So we decided to celebrate over 2 days. The first day we went to Disneyland (I got us annual passes for an anniversary present; Sammy got me a really nice bike. I bike to work everyday so it’s thoughtful and something I really wanted). The second day we decided to go to the local aquarium as a call back to getting married in an aquarium. I thought it was a cute idea anyway. Also, the local aquarium does whale watching adventures in the Pacific Ocean, something both of us have wanted to do for a while.
Sammy and I had a date weekend. We went to our first OWL match, grabbed a butterbeer in Universal Studios, and stopped for dinner in Little Arabia. It was a great weekend out.
Blizzard sent me to GUR and GDC. Plus I gave a talk as a part of the FPA. Read how it went
We finally got to check out Universal Studios Hollywood. There were some aspects that were disappointing and a surprising couple that were great!
Sammy’s Aunt May came to town for a Mathematics conventions so we had to go see her … and stop at the coast … and stop at the zoo. Overall it was a lovely weekend in San Diego.
We spent our honeymoon in Japan and it was one of the best trips of my life. We will find a way to go back to the most unique and awesome place yet!

The Wedding finally arrived and it truly was the best day. The day I married my best friend surrounded by those closest to me.
We just got back from Universal Studios Orlando and had an amazing 3 year anniversary. Here is my account of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter (spoilers, it’s awesome!), Simpson’s Land, Jurassic Park World, and more. Hope you enjoy my retelling of our vacation, and maybe pick up some tips if you are planning on going yourself. Fair warning though: this one is kind of long so TL:DR Harry Potter World = awesome, I got to be a wizard; Simpson’s Land was full of potential but ultimately was a disappointment; Jurassic Park World was awesome but don’t eat there; Go to King Kong, Spiderman, Transformer, all Harry Potter rides; Be cautious of the older rides.

We spent a few days in Dallas trying to finalize some parts of our wedding. We were extremely successful in that endeavor. It was a good trip all around, and a special thank you to everyone who drove up to support us.
